by_o work_n again_o if_o justification_n depend_v all_o justification_n that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n pertain_v unto_o all_o upon_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n then_o shall_v god_n be_v

god_n for_o whosoever_o have_v obtain_v the_o gift_n of_o true_a faith_n have_v also_o by_o the_o same_o grace_n and_o liberality_n of_o god_n obtain_v the_o gift_n of_o perseverance_n so_o that_o
